[MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer

@Cr4z33
Is the IP of your VU receiver from internal Lan or external (DDNS)?
AxLED

[Cr4z33]

@AxLed it’s an internal LAN IP address.

@AxLed I tried @evroom 's module config, but it keeps not streaming.

Try this:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox/

$ cp -p node_helper.js node_helper.js.orig

$ vi node_helper.js

Locate:

exec('omxplayer '

Append this line:

console.log('DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);


Locate next:

exec('omxplayer '

Append this line:

console.log('DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);


$ pm2 restart mm

$ pm2 logs

Select a service and play that service:

http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT

http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY

In pm2 logs should appear:

0|mm  | DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

or:

0|mm  | DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

In my case I see DB-PLAY(2).

If you see nothing then it is back to the drawing board.
Need to see what works and what not and where in the code.

[Cr4z33]

@evroom thanks I will try later today.

[Cr4z33]

@evroom there are two instances of

exec('omxplayer '

one at line 40 and one at line 45.

What shall I do?

After both lines you need to put the console.log line, one with (1) and one with (2), see my post:

Locate:

exec('omxplayer '

Append this line:

console.log('DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);


Locate next:

exec('omxplayer '

Append this line:

console.log('DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);

Nothing reported into PM2 logs. :persevering_face:

@Cr4z33
That explains the missing stream.
You are not getting to the DB-PLAY routine.

To me it looks like you have an issue with MMM-Remote-Control.
For example, I almost always get success, provide the IP is right, but the notification can be wrong

{"status":"success"}

Can you try this:

$ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
$ git pull
$ git status
$ npm install

And then restart mm and try again.

You can also put a debug line in the DB-STOP call and do

http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-STOP

$ vi node_helper.js
:
:
                if (notification === "DB-STOP") {
console.log('DB-STOP: stop the stream');
                        exec('pkill omxplayer', null);
                }
:

If you do not see this in the pm2 logs, then MMM-Remote-Control seems to be the culprit or the communication between the 2 modules.
But as it works for both AxLed and me …

[Cr4z33]

@evroom oh wait what version of MMM-Remote-Control are you using? 🤔

The original developer (cannot remember the name sorry) one or the new one made by shbatm?
